Question - Graduate Technical Interview for Nuclear Engineers

AI Thread Summary
A user is preparing for a technical interview for a graduate scheme in nuclear engineering and seeks insights on potential interview questions. The user has an M.Sc. in Engineering Physics and is particularly interested in experiences from those who have applied for nuclear engineering positions. Other forum members suggest reaching out to specific individuals, ZapperZ and Astronuc, who are identified as nuclear engineers and may offer valuable advice on the interview process and relevant questions.

Hi there!

I am in the process of applying for a graduate scheme as a nuclear engineer in some company. This company accepts graduates from electrical, mechanical engineering, physics etc. I myself will soon obtain M.Sc. in Engineering Physics.
In one of the stages I will have to go through a technical interview. I was wondering if you experienced such interview and could tell me the questions you were asked. I am especially interested in answers of people that applied for a nuclear engineering position.

Thank you
John

You should talk to ZapperZ or Astronuc, I believe they are Nuc Engineers that may be able to provide insight.
 
Bit Britain-specific but I was wondering, what's the best path to take for A-Levels out of the following (I know Y10 seems a bit early to be thinking about A-levels, but my choice will impact what I do this year/ in y11) I (almost) definitely want to do physics at University - so keep that in mind... The subjects that I'm almost definitely going to take are Maths, Further Maths and Physics, and I'm taking a fast track programme which means that I'll be taking AS computer science at the end...
After a year of thought, I decided to adjust my ratio for applying the US/EU(+UK) schools. I mostly focused on the US schools before, but things are getting complex and I found out that Europe is also a good place to study. I found some institutes that have professors with similar interests. But gaining the information is much harder than US schools (like you have to contact professors in advance etc). For your information, I have B.S. in engineering (low GPA: 3.2/4.0) in Asia - one SCI...
I graduated with a BSc in Physics in 2020. Since there were limited opportunities in my country (mostly teaching), I decided to improve my programming skills and began working in IT, first as a software engineer and later as a quality assurance engineer, where I’ve now spent about 3 years. While this career path has provided financial stability, I’ve realized that my excitement and passion aren’t really there, unlike what I felt when studying or doing research in physics. Working in IT...
